-- There is something inherently wrong with giving someone a life sentence without the possibility of parole. If the crime is so heinous and the perpetrator so incorrigible that he qualifies for a sentence like that, he should receive the death penalty. The Michael Lee jury’s decision said that we the taxpayers should support him for the rest of his life instead of putting him to death.

The judge can make it right

-- I hope the judge overrules the jury in the Michael Lee case and gives him death. What would this same jury give the other three defendants, a slap on the back saying “Poor babies”?

Shows importance of parenting

-- The Kyser Miree case is a perfect example of how important parenting is in the future and how our children are raised.

Murder is murder

-- How is it that when a black man kills a black man in Fairhope, he only gets 20 years, but when a black man kills a white man in Mobile, he gets life without the possibility of parole or the death penalty? Murder is murder. Alabama, you have shown your ugly face again.

Baldwin County exodus

-- In regards to Jean McCutcheon of the Baldwin Board of Education: When are residents going to wake up and realize everybody’s leaving Baldwin County? There must be a reason, and I believe it starts at the top. Someone needs to be looking seriously at Alan Lee and ask why everyone is leaving.

Roll the dice on the megasite

-- To the Baldwin County Commission: If you want to know what you can put on that megasite, I’ll tell you: The best thing to put on it would be a casino. You would have our money back in less than two years. You could also create lots of jobs while doing it.

Count this a ‘no’ vote

-- Governor Bentley, please stop telling the people to vote for your budget amendment. I, for one, will never vote yes for any taxes or amendments and I think the state should learn how to live within its budget like I’m having to do.

Prichard already has land for houses

-- Concerning the land at the old Blount High School site, Prichard wanting to build new affordable homes: In my opinion, Prichard needs to build affordable homes all over the city where there are homes that no one is living in.

In contempt of America

-- Eric Holder should be held in contempt of Congress. As a matter of fact, the entire Obama administration should be held in contempt of America for their dictator-like tactics.

It’s a witch hunt

-- Has anyone noticed the witch hunt going on against Eric Holder, the most powerful law enforcement man in America, who happens to be black? They’re trying to stain or derail the Obama election so they’re going after one of his top men. The gun-running stuff started during the Bush administration, but they’re digging and digging trying to stain the Obama administration. But he’s going back in. Bank on it. Wrong can’t stop right. He’s going back in.
